Hitler had the Gestapo. Taco has the Gestaco. 🌮
It’s the same model, repackaged for American sensibilities—less efficient, more theatrical. The Gestapo operated with terrifying precision: secret detentions, state terror, informant networks, and cold bureaucratic suppression of dissent. The Gestaco 🌮 is what happens when that model is handed to an insecure narcissist who doesn’t read memos but still wants to feel like a strongman. It’s erratic, incoherent, and driven entirely by the performance of control—not control itself. It’s fascism for cowards. Authoritarianism for people who flinch. And if the Gestapo was built to protect the Reich, the Gestaco exists solely to protect Taco’s ego.
This isn’t satire. This is what’s happening. The military has been deployed to U.S. cities under deliberately vague orders. Civilians are being detained on sidewalks without cause. Entire communities are under surveillance, not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because the regime needs someone to punish. What we’re witnessing is not law enforcement. It’s regime protection. It’s federal muscle used to intimidate, silence, and disappear. And now we’ve reached the line everyone said would never be crossed: the day the United States military detained an American citizen, on American soil, for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
His name is Marcos Leao. He’s 27 years old. He’s a U.S. Army veteran. He served in Iraq. He earned his citizenship. He lives in Los Angeles. And all he did—his only crime—was wear headphones and walk near a federal building on his way to a Veterans Affairs appointment. That’s it. He wasn’t violent. He wasn’t disruptive. He wasn’t even aware he had crossed into a “restricted zone.” He was zip-tied and detained anyway.
Because the Gestaco 🌮 doesn’t need a reason. It only needs a target.
Leao was handed off to federal agents. He was released without charges. No one apologized. No one took responsibility. Because that’s how the Gestaco operates: under cover of coordination, behind layers of denial, with just enough ambiguity to avoid accountability. They don’t knock down your door—they grab you while you’re walking. They don’t explain themselves—they vanish when the press shows up. They don’t follow orders—they follow vibes.
This isn’t martial law by name. It’s martial law by performance. A veteran arrested in his own country while uniformed men pretend it’s justified. Not for safety. Not for justice. But for show.
This is the core truth of the Gestaco: it doesn’t protect the nation. It protects the regime. It doesn’t exist to enforce law. It exists to protect Taco 🌮 from looking weak. That’s why it overreaches. That’s why it punishes the innocent. That’s why it grabs a man like Leao—a man who wore the uniform, followed the rules, trusted the system—and treats him like an enemy for daring to exist unbothered in public.
Because nothing terrifies the Gestaco more than someone who is calm, legal, and unafraid.
The Gestaco isn’t made of monsters. It’s made of mediocrities. Of bureaucrats with helmets. Of half-trained enforcers clinging to the authority they were given by a coward too scared to speak the word “accountability.” They weren’t created to fight crime. They were created to follow silence. To take action without question. To uphold the dignity of a regime that has no dignity left. Every time they detain someone like Leao, they don’t demonstrate strength—they reveal how absolutely terrified they are of losing control.
That’s why we call it the Gestaco. Because it is not accidental. Because it is not isolated. Because it is the evolution of every unchecked state power before it. Because it has no legal definition, and that’s exactly how it was designed. A blob of ICE, military, federal police, and loyalist goons, reshaped daily around whatever Taco needs to look powerful on television.
It wears no consistent uniform. It operates under no single chain of command. It answers to no law. And now it detains veterans with headphones just to remind the rest of us that there are no rules anymore.
This is not a warning. It is not a prediction. It is not hyperbole. It is documentation. The Gestaco 🌮 is real. It has already acted. It has already overstepped. And it is counting on your confusion, your fatigue, your fear, and your silence.
But it made one mistake.
It went after someone who had done nothing.
And the rest of us were watching.
So now we name it.
We define it.
We resist it.
The Gestaco. 🌮
All true but I fear the good guys here are making the mistake of continuing to believe that the old agreed democratic pieties still prevail in an increasingly white anted Democracy from above.
TACO and his kleptocratic mafia mob do not care.
Your craven ultra conservative media platforms are running interference for the real evil that stalks your land, REPUBLICANISM, which has been preparing for this takeover for decades now.
Such effing cowards! This is now our life. We can change it, starting with showing up tomorrow at a No Kings protest near you.
